Student Voting

Students already face many challenges – fitting in, a new school, a new environment, studying for classes and exams, and writing hundreds of paper – and voting can sometimes be an unnecessary burden.

The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law summed it up perfectly: “As a student, you have a constitutional right to register and vote in the place you truly consider to be “home” — whether that’s your parents’ house, your apartment, or your dorm room. But before you make the important decision about where to vote, make sure you know the rules (and sometimes consequences) of registering to vote in that state."
